Letter from the President

Being a part of the trade organization that promotes the industry in which you work allows you to contribute to the issues that influence your job the most. After 50 years, the Athens Area Home Builders Association's mission is still clear-cut, "As the voice of the industry, we strive to create and promote a favorable climate for quality, affordable construction and to assure a positive economic future for the communities we serve." Our membership has grown emphatically in recent years affording us a more powerful voice in our community.

As the proud leader of such a devoted group of industry partners, it is my charge to ensure the successful growth of our business segment in Northeast Georgia. No matter what branch of the home building industry in which you might be involved, the AAHBA provides an outlet for networking, ideas and improvement. With an array of housing-related member businesses, forming affiliate partnerships furnishes you with the resources needed for individual businesses to prosper. Plenty of opportunities for member interaction and industry involvement are presented in AAHBA events. Staying on top of governmental affairs, networking to meet potential business partners, volunteering for community service events, taking advantage of educational opportunities and attending seminars are just a few of the ways that the AAHBA strives to prove beneficial and valuable to your organization.

It is easy to stay involved in the AAHBA. From monthly meetings and meals to newsletters and golf tournaments, participating in the AAHBA is more manageable than ever. We have worked diligently to create a functional website stocked with valuable resources for all members.

With warm regards,
Jason Dickens
